5R7 field & runways
Roy E Ray, Bayou LA Batre, Alabama. Field elevation 87 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 2.0°E on record, 2.8°W today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.078°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 36 | 359.0° | 1.8° | matches rule gives runway 1 in ~41 yr | 2,000 ft | TURF | left |
